Consideration of Final Completion of the Spring Street Pipeline
Rehabilitation Project
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
The Spring Street Pipeline Rehabilitation project is complete.
accepting the project as complete requires Board approval.
A resolution
2. HISTORY
The Spring Street Pipeline Rehabilitation project involved sliplining an existing 10inch pipe in Spring Street with a new 6-inch pipe and replacing one service lateral.
This work was undertaken in coordination with the Town Truckee’s planned
Brickeltown Streetscape project.
In April 2014, the Board authorized award the construction contract for the Spring
Street Pipeline Rehabilitation project. This authorization covered a construction cost
up to $60,000, along with a change order allowance not to exceed $6,000.
In May 2014, the contract was awarded to Aspen Developers with a bid price of
$59,200.
3. NEW INFORMATION
The project began construction in late May 2014 and was completed on July 1, 2014.
During the course of the project, there were two change order items.
The first item involves the installation of an additional 26 feet of pipe at the intersection
on Spring Street and Jibboom Street. The District requested a price proposal from
Aspen Developers for this work after determining that this pipe section was also in
poor condition. Aspen was authorized to proceed with this work based upon a price
proposal of $4,500.
The second item involves a reconciliation of Bid Quantities vs. Actual Constructed
Quantities. The contract is based on a unit price bid. Attachment 1 shows the
differences between bid totals and the amounts actually constructed. This analysis
results in a $2,834.00 credit to the District.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
The original bid price was $59,200. Once adjustments are made for the change order
items, the final contract price is $60,866.00 as shown in the table below. This final
amount is less than the Board authorization of $66,000.

CONSENT
To:
Board of Directors
From:
Ian Fitzgerald
Date:
Subject:
August 20, 2014
Consideration of the Purchase of Replacement Computing Devices
for District Vehicles
Board approval is required for expenditures in excess of $15,000.
2. HISTORY
The District has been using computers in District vehicles since 2002. The District
currently operates mobile computers in District vehicles to provide geographic
information, modeling capabilities, and associated data to our water and electric crews
away from the office. In addition, these units now play a critical role in facility
inspection programs and electric outage management.
3. NEW INFORMATION
Our current mobile computers were purchased in 2009. In addition to outlasting their
three year replacement cycle by five years, many of the computers are beginning to
break down in their harsh environment.
The new tablet computers are manufactured by Microsoft, and are designed
specifically for field applications on a daily basis. They are high performance, tablet
enabled devices, viewable in direct sun-light. Speed and processing power are a
major step up from our existing devices.
Section 3.08.060 of the District's code (Joint Purchasing with the State of California
and other public agencies) permits the District to take advantage of other agencies low
bids providing that competitive procurement procedures were followed. The costs
proposals are submitted on Federal Government Service Agreement (GSA) which
adheres to this section of the District code.
The expected life of the mobile computers is three years due to the harsh environment
to which they are exposed; however it is not uncommon for tablet computers to be
usable for five years if still in good condition.

4. FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds exist in the FY12 Budget for the purchase of the 22 mobile computers.
The cost of the mobile computers quoted through CDW-Government is $24,091, and
includes tax and shipping.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase of replacement mobile computers for a total cost of $24,091.

Subject:
Consideration of Foreclosures in the Community Facilities Districts;
and Delinquency Updates for Old Greenwood and Gray's Crossing
Robert Mescher
Adoption of a foreclosure resolution and contracting with a foreclosure attorney are the
next steps in the collection of delinquent Community Facilities District (CFD)
assessments.
2. HISTORY
In 2003, the Board formed a CFD for the Old Greenwood development. In 2004, the
Board formed a CFD for the Gray's Crossing development. Both CFDs were formed
for the purpose of selling bonds to pay for portions of the infrastructure in both the Old
Greenwood and Gray's Crossing developments.
The property owners in each CFD have been annually assessed through their property
tax bill to pay the principal and interest on the bonds.
Each year since 2010, the Board has adopted a foreclosure resolution authorizing staff
and special counsel to proceed with the foreclosure process on all parcels with
delinquent assessments in both CFDs.
Last year, there were approximately sixteen parcels with delinquencies. Three of those
parcels were large undeveloped multi-family parcels owned by the developers LDK
and Gray's Station. The parcels have income restrictions and the developers have no
intent to pay future and delinquent assessments. Previous Sheriff's sales failed to
obtain the minimum bid on those parcels.
The remaining parcels were single-residential lots owned by individuals.
3. NEW INFORMATION
STATUS OF PRIOR DELINQUENCIES
No status has changed with the three large undeveloped parcels. The developers
LDK and Gray's Station have no intent on paying future or past delinquencies due to
the income restrictions on the parcels.
11
12
Of the remaining thirteen parcels, six parcels have paid and are now current. Two
parcels are scheduled for a Sheriff sale on 9/10/14. The District is either in process or
has received Writs-of-Sale from the court for the remaining parcels. After receiving the
Writs-of-Sale, the Nevada County Sheriff's Office will schedule a sale. Obtaining the
Writs-of-Sales and scheduling the auctions has taken longer than expected due to
budget cuts at Nevada County leaving the county staff short handed.
Stradling Yocca Carlson and Rauth is continuing to work with Nevada County to obtain
the Writs-of-Sale and schedule Sheriff sales .
NEW DELINQUENCIES
Attachment 1 lists the parcels that did not pay their assessments this past year. There
are forty-six delinquent parcels in Gray's Crossing and five delinquent parcels in Old
Greenwood. This list includes the ten parcel owners described above. The three
largest delinquent assessments from Gray's Crossing are the three largest parcels
mentioned above.
Attachment 2 and Attachment 3 are maps of the delinquent parcels in Old Greenwood
and Gray's Crossing.
FORECLOSURE CRITERIA
The bond covenant defines when the foreclosure proceedings apply. The criteria for
when the Board must proceed with foreclosure are:
A) A parcel or property owner is past due more than $7,500, or
B) If more than 5% of the amount billed is past due, all past due parcels are subject to
foreclosure.
There are five property owners in Old Greenwood with delinquent assessments. Two
are from prior years and three are from the 2013/2014 levy. The total past due for Old
Greenwood 2013/2014 assessments is $10,995. One parcel has a total delinquency
including prior year's assessments that is more than $7,500. The Board must proceed
with foreclosure on that parcel and may proceed with foreclosure on the other four.
There are forty-six property owners in Gray's Crossing that are delinquent. The
delinquent assessments totaling $720,554 exceeds 5% of the amount billed. The
Board must proceed with foreclosure on all of the parcels.
All of the property owners have received reminder letters and demand letters prepared
by Willdan Financial, the firm that administers the collection of the assessments.
Willdan has also sent a letter to the lenders and copied the property owners.
SPECIAL COUNSEL
Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth has six offices throughout California and they have
done an excellent job in collecting most of the delinquencies from last year.
12
13
4. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to Truckee Donner Public Utility District with this action item.
All charges incurred related to the judicial foreclosure process are the responsibility of
the property owners in the CFD.
Approximately $280,000 will need to be drawn from the Gray's Crossing Reserve Fund
to make the $1.3 million bond payment because of the accumulated Gray's Crossing
delinquencies. Most of the total assessment delinquencies are due to the three large
undeveloped parcels with income restrictions. Drawing from the Reserve Fund is a
reportable event to the bond holders.

5. RECOMMENDATION
a) Adopt the attached foreclosure Resolution 2014-19 (Attachment 4) authorizing staff
delinquent assessments in both Old Greenwood and Gray's Crossing CFD.
b) Authorize the Board President to extend the agreement for legal services with
Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth for their work relating to the foreclosure on
delinquent parcels in both Old Greenwood and Gray's Crossing CFD.

Subject:
Review of the Draft Revised District Ordinance No. 2005-05, the
Corresponding District Urban Water Management Plan, and Update
on Emergency Drought Regulations
August 20, 2014
This item includes an update on the District's implementation of the California State
Water Resources Control Board's (SWRCB's) emergency drought regulations along
with review of proposed revisions to District Ordinance 2005-05 which is part of the
existing Urban Water Management Plan's Water Shortage Contingency Plan.
2. HISTORY
The District's Board has had multiple meetings to review and implement the SWRCB's
emergency drought regulations. These regulations require that all Urban Water
Suppliers implement fully the stage of their Water Shortage Contingency Plan that first
introduces restrictions to outdoor irrigation of ornamental landscapes and turf with
potable water. The District's Water Shortage Contingency Plan, and implementing
Ordinance No. 2005-05, were written for a catastrophic failure of our water system.
The State's mandate to implement Stage 2 would create an undue hardship given that
the District is not currently experiencing a water supply shortage.
At the July 16, 2014 District Board meeting, the Board set a Public Hearing date of
September 10, 2014 to consider revisions to our Urban Water Management Plan.
Notice was given to the Town of Truckee, Nevada County, and Placer County
regarding the District's intent to update the plan.
At the August 12, 2014 special District Board meeting, action was taken to comply with
the new regulations and the General Manager was directed to implement the District's
Urban Water Management Plan, Water Shortage Contingency Plan and trigger
Ordinance No. 2005-05 Stage 2 or the Alternate Plan if approved by the California
State Water Resources Control Board.
3. NEW INFORMATION
District Staff have taken steps to comply with the new drought regulations.
following actions are complete or are in process:
The
 A press release was sent out on August 13th regarding the District's action to
comply with the regulations and impacts to our customers;
 The Districts website (www.tdpud.org) has been updated and includes detailed
information on the new restrictions that our customers must comply with;
20
21
 A complaint form for alleged violations of the drought regulations is available on
the website (See Forms button on homepage);
 A letter to all of our customers (Attachment 1) has been sent to the printer/mail
house and is expected to hit mail boxes within a week; and
 Staff have conducted direct outreach to key accounts, other public agencies,
CATT, driveway sealing companies, and others.
District Staff has created a draft revision (Attachment 2) to District Ordinance No.
2005-05. These revision have taken into account the impacts from the SWRCB's
drought regulations along with a review of other local water agency ordinances. The
revised ordinance is now written for both a drought emergency and a catastrophic
failure of one or more components of our water system that would cause water supply
shortages. Key changes to the ordinance include:
 The stages have been modified and additional stages have been added to give
more granularity in choosing the appropriate stage;
 Restrictions have been removed that were unreasonable or would create undue
hardship;
 The procedures to appeal for hardship or address violations have been
improved; and
 The revised ordinance is more consistent with the ordinances of other local
water agencies.
A final ordinance will be presented to the Board and public in a Public Hearing at the
September 10, 2014 board meeting. If adopted, a Public Hearing for consideration of
changes to the District's Urban Water Management Plan will be held. The only
changes to the Urban Water Management Plan would be to reflect the changes in the
District's implementing ordinance.
If adopted by the District's Board, the new ordinance and Urban Water Management
Plan would take effect in 30-days. The new ordinance would remain in effect unless
rescinded by the Board or if the SWRCB approves the District's Alternate Plan
request. The Urban Water Management Plan would remain in effect until the next
update as required by the state water code which would be in 2015.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this workshop item. Fiscal impacts from the
emergency drought regulations have been presented in previous meetings.

Dear Truckee Donner PUD customer:
IMPORTANT: California State Regulators Adopt Emergency Drought Regulations
Truckee Donner PUD Takes Steps to Comply
The Truckee Donner Public Utility District has taken action to implement restrictions
on outdoor water use as required by law. The California State Water Resources
Control Board (SWRCB) has recently adopted emergency drought regulations which
include provisions against wasting water that apply to all Californians along with the
restrictions on outdoor irrigation. Compliance is mandatory and there are provisions
for penalties and fines.
The key impacts to Truckee Donner PUD customers from the state’s emergency
drought regulations include:
 Restriction on the irrigation with potable water of ornamental landscapes and
turf to 2-days per week. This applies to all Truckee Donner PUD water
customers; and
 Prohibitions for all Californians, punishable by a fine of up to $500 for each day
in which the violations occurs, against:
o The application of potable water to outdoor landscapes in a manner that
causes runoff such that water flows onto adjacent property, non-irrigated
areas, private and public walkways, roadways, parking lots, or structures;
o The use of a hose that dispenses potable water to wash a motor vehicle,
except where the hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle or device attached to it
that causes it to cease dispensing water immediately when not in use;
o The application of potable water to driveways and sidewalks; and
o The use of potable water in a fountain or other decorative water feature
except where the water is part of a recirculating system.
To help with enforcement of drought regulations, the Truckee Donner PUD has
established a formal procedure to receive complaints regarding observations of
noncompliant incidents. Staff will investigate complaints and take action where
appropriate. Complaints must be in writing and can be filed at www.tdpud.org home
page (click on Forms button) or delivered to Truckee Donner PUD at 11570 Donner
Pass Rd., Truckee, CA 96161.

Attachment 1
The state’s emergency drought regulations went into effect on July 29, 2014 and will
remain in effect until rescinded by the SWRCB. By law, emergency regulations such
as these can only be in effect for 270 days before they need to be renewed. The
Truckee Donner PUD board held a special meeting on August 12, 2014 and took action
to implement the new regulations. With this notice, you are required to comply
immediately with the mandatory regulations.
Truckee Donner PUD staff are working with the state regulators to ensure compliance
and to track any new developments and will communicate with our customers when
significant changes occur. It is important to note that, although Truckee is in a drought,
we are not experiencing a water supply shortage. However, we must all comply with
the mandatory state emergency drought regulations and it is critical that we conserve
water.
The Truckee Donner PUD Conservation Department is available to help you save
water though our very successful water-efficient toilet rebate/exchange, customer leakrepair rebate, free handouts of low-flow plumbing fixtures and hose-spray nozzles, and
conservation garden. There are many opportunities to save water, money, and live
more comfortably. Visit www.tdpud.org/departments/conservation for full program
details.
For information on the emergency drought regulations or to file a complaint for
violations, visit www.tdpud.org (see Spotlight section or Forms button). For additional
information, call 530-582-3931 or visit the TDPUD’s conservation department at 11570
Donner Pass Road.

Subject:
August 20, 2014
Discussion Regarding the Purchase of a Replacement Radio System
The purpose of this workshop is to provide the Board with an overview of the plan to
replace the District's radio communication technology
2. HISTORY
The District's radio communication technology is well beyond its useful life. Existing
radio technology is 20 years old and are unreliable to the point where field employees
have to use cell phones due to reliability issues. The importance of reliable, clear,
uninterrupted communication in a dangerous work environment like high voltage
electricity, and in a regional environment where natural disasters like earthquakes and
forest fires are prevalent, cannot be undervalued. New technology exists today that will
improve communications and integrate disparate systems seamlessly.
The District has been building a foundation of technology that is now capable of
supporting a Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) system. The new radio system will greatly
improve the way District staff communicates with employees, community partners, and
the public.
A history of the District's communication technology is as follows:
 2011 (fall) - District replaced network infrastructure with new switches, wireless
access points, and firewalls. System standards of checks and balances for
technology failover were put in place. This allowed for high bandwidth traffic
required for DMR radio communications
 2011 (winter) - District began optic communication installation, providing fast
network access to District owned remote sites. This allowed for placement of
radio transmitters at multiple locations throughout the District for optimal
coverage.
 2012 (spring) - District implemented data center technology to support servers
and applications. This allowed for the computing power and storage required
for communication servers and unified communications integration.
 2013 (spring) - District implemented disaster recovery technology to allow for
server and data failover offsite. This ensured technology failure at District
offices would not cause loss of communications.
30
31
 2014 (summer) - District implement a Voice-Over-IP (VOIP) communication
hub platform that has improved phone, chat, email and employee presence
communications.
3. NEW INFORMATION
The District is looking at a Tait Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) system that will replace our
existing Motorola analog radio system. This system uses computer network
technology and provides crystal clear radio communication, allowing for advanced
technology like voip phone operations, global positioning (GPS) location, text
messaging, and email. Replacement of the radio system will allow for a reduction of
cell phones and associated costs from the field operations.
The initial design will place two radio repeaters on top of existing water tanks at
Donner View and Old Greenwood. Both repeaters will have network communications
back to both the District data center, and to the new disaster recovery building at on
Trails End Road. Each repeater will allow for 3 separate radio communication
channels. At any time, the District will have between 3 and 6 channels available for
talk paths. A select number of vehicles will have radios installed, and every employee
in the field will carry a personal radio.
Employee field safety will be improved in a number of areas with the new technology.
In the past, employees could be out of communication range if in a trench, in a vault,
or on top of a tank or pole. All existing radios are inside District vehicles with a limited
number of load speakers, and old analog technology has an abundance of static
interference. With employees having radios on their persons at all times, not only can
every employee hear radio communication clearly, but they will also be able to
respond immediately if needed. Team communication will also be improved. Today,
many water crew only carry cell phones, which limits communication to only two
personnel. Radio communications will ensure all employees will be aware of
operations, whether between two employees or communications between the entire
team.
An estimated radio coverage map is included as Attachment 1.
The quote (Attachment 2) from Tait on a Western States Contract Agreement (WSCA)
is $262,000. This includes repeaters for 3 to 6 channels, 13 vehicle radios, 40
personal radios, licenses, and professional services.
The next step is to receive a final quote from Tait Radio, and bring to the Board of
Directors for approval in September.

Discussion Regarding Building Security
This item is information for potential security measures that may come before the
Board for approval.
2. HISTORY
One of the District’s goals is to provide a safe, secure business atmosphere for both
our customers and employees. On a daily basis, District employees are in direct
contact with the public, contractors, and vendors. The District has some physical
measures in place to help ensure the integrity of the office complex from external
threats.
Some of these physical measures include:
 Chain link fencing;
 Automatic vertical pivot gates;
 Lighting throughout the building and yards;
 Panic buttons;
 Keypads on exterior doors;
 Internal video camera system that captures all ingress/egress points, and
 Parking for the Board of Directors within a secure area.
3. NEW INFORMATION
District staff has been cleaning up District owned parcels such as the property along
Trout Creek and the Forest Lane alley off of Meadow Park Way. This includes trash
removal, tree trimming and patrolling the parcels for vagrants.
Potential upcoming projects include:
 Fencing of the District’s Forest Lane property directly behind the District’s yard;
 External cameras throughout the District Complex and corporation yards,
substations and water facilities;
